Roos named in Tukkies No.10 shirt
The University of Pretoria (FNB Tukkies) have been boosted by the return of teenage flyhalf Juan-Claude Roos for their Varsity Cup Round Four encounter with FNB UCT at the LC de Villiers Stadium on Monday.
Roos, who last year was still at school, comes back into the starting XV after missing the FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International Round Three win over TUT this past Monday.
Having made a full recovery from the groin injury that sidelined him during the 45-9 win over TUT, Roos takes over from Piet-Piet Swart, who drops down to the bench.
Chandré Boshoff drops out of the matchday 22 altogether.
There are no other changes to the Tukkies team.
